Where Did Modern Humans Come From? Where did human life come from? If we ask many scientists they will say it somehow came from non-living matter which evolved into living matter, which then continued to evolve until we were created. Asking the Christian clergy produces a different answer and it is God created us. There are just so many questions to ask about human life and the life which was said to precede it, it is hard to know where to start. One of the things which always puzzled me was the explanations used in the theory of evolution. Why must a human ancestor die out if humans are around? Scientists will tell us we killed them, or they couldn’t compete for food. Wait a second, there were hardly any people on earth at the time, so there was probably enough food for all. How could the Neanderthals have populated the earth and existed for many hundreds of thousands of years and then suddenly died out when humans came along? Think about this, the population of humans on earth when they first appeared was very small and unless the two groups lived in the exact same territory it was a miracle they even met at times. What the people who believe in Darwin’s evolution probably don’t know is when he wrote the book, “The Origin of Species”, this was not the complete title. It was “The Origin of Species of Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.” It seems Darwin was a racist. If people really looked into the life of Darwin and his thoughts, some would be ashamed to align themselves with him. Somehow over time he has become the darling of the science set. Darwin had studied at the seminary, but became disillusioned and lost his belief in God so any theory of life he came up with would have been one without God in it. It is said he renounced his faith and contrary to rumors did not die a Christian but an atheist. Darwin said the world is purposeless and is just an accident. Why is it we don’t see animals evolving into other animals or even humans evolving into a new race of some kind. We are told we are evolving and are different from humans who lived 5,000 years ago, but we can’t see the difference, why? Scientists have been trying to prove evolution by producing a new species and have never succeeded. Let me explain, they have experimented on fruit flies, because they are a rapidly reproducing species, but try as hard as they can, no evolution has taken place. Ask a scientist and he will say we can’t see it, because it happens too slowly and we have to look to the past to see it. Why is it we don’t see a lot more life transforming into other life in the ancient record of fossils and such? Sure, we are told to look at a bunch of skulls arranged to look like they could have evolved, but given the amount of life on our world this would not be that hard to do. Does it mean evolution actually was taking place? Secretly some scientists have doubted this, but remained quiet because they would like to keep their jobs and I can’t blame them. Where did we come from? Even if the theory of evolution was correct this doesn’t necessarily mean we didn’t come from somewhere else. When one examines the record of when modern humans first appeared, it is as if they suddenly came on to the world stage about 130,000 years ago or maybe before. The truth is no one knows when humans first appeared and more to the point when they first developed modern human behavior. This assumes early humans were more like animals, but again there is no proof this is true. Who sired the first modern human, was it a Neanderthal or Denisovan and did it just happen or were there intermediate babies born who gradually became more human as time went by? When one examines the theory of evolution it does begin to look flawed. Rather than evolution by natural selection, could things like cosmic rays, radiation, pollution and other events cause us to change, or could there be something in the vast amount of DNA in our bodies which is not understood which is steering us into becoming something else? All this assumes evolution is taking place, but we really don’t know this is true, even though we are told it is. How many times in science have people been told certain things were true only to find out they were not. It has happened ever since we developed the field of science. Let me give you an example, we have been told we have to drink a lot of milk because it gives us healthy bones and yet milk consumption does not cut down on the amount of bone fractures and some studies show an association with higher mortality and the consumption of milk. There is a growing group of people who believe it is possible we humans are not even from this planet and we either traveled here in the distant past from some other planet or the keys to creating humans came in the form of chemicals brought to earth by meteors and asteroids. If we did come from somewhere else where could it have been? Many people who believe this theory think it was Mars and even believe the government may know this, because it has found the evidence on the Red Planet. There are others who have examined the earliest human records and think otherwise. They believe we came from another star system. Either way this would explain our sudden appearance on this planet. Here is the exciting part of this. If we did come from somewhere else, there could be more humans living on other planets. Perhaps we were a colony at one time and something happened to make us forget our roots and strike out on our own. If this was the case maybe other colonies exist and could even be in our solar system. If any of this turns out to be true, we could be headed for a very exciting future and perhaps our brothers and sisters are just waiting for us to catch up with our technology before they contact us? |
